Fuçk Batman. Best line ever uttered in a DC show by Dick Grayson.
I enjoyed most of this first episode. A Dick Grayson disaffected from Batman, out on his own to create his own man and superhero persona is a great theme for the character in this show. I'm looking forwards to the transition to Nightwing.
I really liked the handling of Raven and her struggles, her first steps on her journey discover who she is who she'll be.
Far less convincing is the Starfire subplot. It felt has someone had just cut scenes from a 70s exploitation movie into the episode and called it a day. It strikes me as reminiscent of the infamous Code Of Honor episode in Star Trek: The Next Generation season one. The character really needs to get better soon and pretty damn fast. If not, not one is going to take this Starfire seriously. This is the reason for the loss of three stars.
The Beast Boy teaser at the end was a fun Easter egg while still waiting for a later episode for a more formal in depth introduction of the character. It would have been hard to do justice to the four characters if they had done an introduction of all four in this pilot.
